Not myself but I have had reported to me many examples of this panic.
Most of the reports are that winbindd is not loaded after the host boots and
there is a samba core dump indicating the BUILTIN not found panic happened. It
was also reproduced when winbind was in nsswitch configuration and Apache
restarted on the host. Remove winbindd from nsswitch and the problem can't be
reproduced.
The boot time issue might be a race but the Apache induced one doesn't sound
like it.
What you said about the patch is what worried me about it, not having the
RPC/lookup fail to return was the thinking behind the patch.
I'll try to reproduce it and diagnose the reason for the BUILTIN domain not
being in the list.
Thanks for the opinion.
